June is Pelvic Organ Prolapse Month

June is Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) Awareness month and is the perfect time to refresh your knowledge on resources available to you and your patients.

An unfortunately common problem that affects up to 50% of women, with 1 out of 9 women needing surgery for prolapse in their lifetime. While rarely a life-threatening condition, pelvic organ prolapse will not go away if you ignore it.
